I am hoping the migratory birds make it my way. Seems like I've been in such a birding slump lately! I took some photos of the Downy woodpecker - but none were worth posting. At least I can always count on my little chickadees! How is autumn looking in your area? We're experiencing a late Autumn here in northern Michigan.

...your little Black-capped Chickadee is a sweetyheart--they are always such troopers, all winter long through those freezing temps they keep me entertained with their antics. Your fall colors are beautiful--a little brighter than ours. We're a few days to a week or so behind you I guess. I was in your state this weekend. My first time to bird there...I LOVED it. It was gorgeous....I want to live there!

Hi Shelley,Lucky you. We are experiencing a very early WINTER here in Iceland. The snow has been around Reykjavík for weeks, especially on the mountain, which made the temperatures dropped from 10°C to -5°C in no time. And finally yesterday the snow reached us with 3-4cm on the ground. Indeed we are happy because days are getting more light when we do have snow! So temperatures are rather low now and it is difficult to go birding but i still try... beautiful chickadee shot as usually.

If it were not for the 'regulars' like Chickadees and Blue Jays,we would have almost no birds.Hoping things will get better soon.The colors are gorgeous in your are,we're still waiting for that too. Blessings,Ruth

Chickadees are always fun! Hehe ;) We're having a late autumn in NB Canada as well. There's still alot of green outside, with a little bit of yellow, orange and red. I'm guessing by the end of this week there won't be much green left.Have a good week :)

I love your little Chickie photo. So photogenic! Our colors have not yet started to pop here in SE Ohio... I'm surprised things aren't farther along there in northern Michigan. Take care! Hugs to you all.

Love that little Chickadee!! It seems like the leaves are dropping so fast from where I can see that the colors aren't that good. But I did see some nice colors on my way to the doctor's this morning. I will have to take my camera and go for a ride soon. They aren't quite peak here. But will be very soon.

I think we are also experiencing a late fall..usually by now our back yard leaves are falling and calling our names to rake..but this year..they are still clinging to the trees and are still green!!!Love your little chickadee..they are the cutest little birds..and always quite peppy to have around! How's your little puppy doing with your cooler temps..usually the dogs love colder weather..makes them more active!!

Hi Shelley, sorry your're having a birding blip....I'm sure it will pass. I'm having a great autumn so far. Have just taken a birding trip to the Isles of Scilly off the SW tip of England. A fabulous place! That last photo is lovely, I can't tell whether it is underwater or not though??? Maybe it's my comp screen! (-:
